Apple introduced Wednesday a new $899 configuration of the 17-inch iMac designed for education customers.
Replacing the eMac, it will feature a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, a built-in iSight video camera and iLife'06, the next generation of Apple's suite of digital lifestyle applications including iPhoto, iMovie HD and GarageBand.
Moreover, it also includes a Combo drive for burning CDs and reading DVDs, 512MB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory expandable up to 2GB and hard drive storage capacity up to 160GB, Apple said.
The new configuration is now available.

Tethered molecules act as light-driven reversible nanoswitches
Our ability to see is based on molecules in the eye that flip from one conformation to another when exposed to visible light. Now, a new technique for attaching light-sensitive organic molecules to metal surfaces allows the molecules to be switched between two different configurations in response to exposure to different wavelengths of light. Because the configuration changes are reversible and can be controlled without direct contact, this technique could enable applications that can be controlled at the molecular scale.
